Description
The quest for an answer to the problem of suffering is universal.
People often treat Scripture like a manual, looking for a single clear response that explains the presence of evil and suffering. Brian Han Gregg thinks we should take a different approach.
The Bible does not have one but many responses to suffering. To pick out one theme is to hear the sopranos but miss the choir. We need to listen to the whole biblical narrative to appreciate its multifaceted handling of the problem.
What Does the Bible Say About Suffering? explores twelve themes related to the issue of human suffering and reflects on what we can learn from the diversity of the biblical witness. Readable and informed by biblical scholarship, this book is a timely resource for students, small groups and anyone looking for a fresh approach to a topic of perennial interest.

Advance Praise
"Brian Gregg brings the insights of a biblical scholar to the experience of suffering in ways that speak to mind and heart alike. His sensitive reading of the Bible shows that it has a variety of things to say about life's greatest challenge, and each has important things to teach us. Even though no single view fits everyone's experience and suffering is always mysterious, there is one thing we can know for sure—God is always with us, always working for good."
